"This training was very helpful. I really enjoyed learning about the legal aspect of cyberbullying as well as learning about the social networking sites students are using currently. The statistics discussed really helped shed light on where we as a nation stand with regards to the prevalence of cyberbullying in our student population. I also liked seeing the videos about how kids are responding to cyberbullying and bullying within their schools. The positive use of social media to combat bullying seems to be most effective when utilized by peers so this really helps us as a school to plan our anti-bullying campaigns around student involvement. All the interventions discussed help guide our responses to cyberbullying and the way we will educate our students on it. We also loved hearing about the #startswithus campaign the students at the end of the training touched on. We have started utilizing this campaign within our own building with teachers modeling the pinning of clothespins first and then passing them down to the student body. "
